摘要 

在外语教学中，导入“目的语”文化已成为共识，然而，纵观我国多层次英语教学，在增大文化含量里却有着一种共同的片面性。对作为主体一方的文化背景中国文化之英语表达，基本上仍处于忽视状态，一旦母语文化“失语”，中外文化交流就会出现西方文化压倒性优势的尴尬局面。学生对英语的学习主要是为了跨文化交际，跨文化交际的前提是既要了解西方文化，也要了解本国文化。但是当前的英语教学模式严重忽视了母语文化，而只是单方面的重视西方文化的输入，导致学生无法用英语表达中国文化，造成母语文化缺失现象。为了更深入地了解中国英语学习者，特别是英语专业学生的母语文化现状，笔者通过对学生、教师和教学课程的调查得出的数据，试图找出母语文化失语症产生的原因，并提出相应的教学策略。
